Is Arch easy to install? Been using Linux (Ubuntu/Mint) for about 6 months already.

My first time doing it and everything went smooth. Wireless was a piece of piss to setup because the kernel includes my ath9k drivers, wish I had gone with something other than KDE but I don't really want to switch now because I'll probably break everything.

Switching DE's are easy. Just install the packages, then modify your .xinitrc
log out, then log back in and if you're fine with the new DE, remove the old one.

Absolutely no difference between the two except for the plant on the desktop

If the first screenshot would be bigger, you'd probably see a huge difference in the font rendering. Fedora's rendering is pretty awful on the default install, but freetype-freeworld from RPMFusion changes that.
